Adam backs Rangers to handle pressure

Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam is convinced his team-mates can handle the pressure as they chase the treble.They have already won the Scottish League Cup and they will play Queen of the South in the Scottish FA Cup Final on Saturday.Before that match, they face two Scottish Premier League fixtures against St Mirren and Aberdeen and they probably need to win both of those games to beat rivals Celtic to the League title.A 1-1 draw with Motherwell has left Rangers three points behind Celtic, who have a superior goal difference.So Rangers need a big win in one of their league games, or they must hope Celtic do not win their final match against Dundee United.Adam said: "It will be a fantastic occasion for us and although there will be a lot of pressure in these last three games, we can handle it."The Rangers players are still recovering from the disappointment of their Uefa Cup final defeat by Zenit St Petersburg.They appeared to be suffering when Chris Porter equalised for Motherwell to cancel out Christian Dailly's opener.Adam said: "We could still have a treble to look forward to if we win every game. The Uefa Cup was a disappointment but, as footballers, you forget about it."It's done now. We will reflect on it in the summer but there are three important games first and it could still be a wonderful season."
